I'll second that! I'm new to the group. I have two main interests:
installing a fuel injected engine (specifically a Jeep 2.5L four or
preferrably a 4.0L six) in my 1963 Rambler, or converting a standard
carb 258 six (AMC/Jeep) to a throttle body type injection (direct port
would be nice, but TBI probably easier). I never considered the gas tank
as a possible problem, though I did know I'd need a special fuel pump. 
To add to this, Holley and another company (can't remember off the top
of my head right now!) both make add-on TBI units. I have considered one
of these, but write a small magazine on Motorola based computers (6809
and 68K... mainly OS-9 real-time OS), and the idea of building my own
system has its own lure. Point is, neither of these kits mention
anything about gas tank modifications. I guess one would experience some
pressure loss near empty, but I have that with my 87 Pontiac 6000! Park
it on an incline while less than 1/8 tank and it may not start!!
